It's not in my near-term plans. Where are you planning on using it? Are there some clients that support it?
It may be useful in loaded web-mail applications (base64 decoding implemented in C is more cpu/memory efficient than in perl or other web scripting language).
And may be we will use this extension in the webmail for our free-mail service (http://mail.rambler.ru)
Popular desktop clients AFAIK don't support rfc3516.
Is it possible to write plugin for support this extension?

I think a plugin would be possible, since it's possible to add
dynamically more FETCH handlers using imap_fetch_handlers_register().
With v1.1 this is even easier because you can use lib-mail/message-
decoder.h to have Dovecot decode the base64/qp parts. Hmm. Although it
forces translating charset to UTF-8, which isn't wanted with BINARY. I
guess that part could have been made optional in the API..
